School of Engineering Electrical & Computer Eng. 20766 INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMS In many applications one is faced with the task of simulating or controlling complex dynamical systems. Such applications include for instance, weather prediction, air quality management, VLSI chip design, molecular dynamics, active noise reduction, chemical reactors, etc. In all these cases complexity manifests itself as the number of first order differential equations which arise. For the above examples, depending on the level of modeling detail required, complexity may range anywhere from a few thousand to a few million first order equations, and above. Simulating (controlling) systems of such complexity becomes a challenging problem, irrespective of the computational resources available. In this course we will set the foundations for model of linear systems. For this, state space representation will be introduced and analyzed. One of the main conclusions will be that certain appropriately defined singular values will provide the trade-off between accuracy and complexity of these dynamical systems. 3 1 0900 0950 MWF DCH 1075 Antoulas, Athanasios C. 50 8 0 0 or permission of instructor ELEC 301OR MATH 355OR CAAM 335 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=20766&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 MUSI 312

Although New Urbanism has provided adjustments to this common model, few truly innovative models of suburban living exist. The reason for this conservatism is manifold. This seminar will challenge the status quo through a series of unusual strategies, motivated by a series of assumptions drawn from the French philosopher Alain Badiou's "The Century" - a highly polmical view of the 20th century.

School of Social Sciences Policy Studies 24678 ENERGY POLICY Energy has long been a major factor in the formulation of national security, foreign policy and domestic economic strategies as well as a driving force in the exercise of national power and general international discourse. Oil is frequently linked to war, civil and ethnic conflict, terrorism, poverty, corruption and social injustice. As national energy security concerns and pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensify, large energy consuming countries like the United States are struggling to improve their national energy policy in the broader context of international relations and domestic economic policy. This course will look in depth at how energy security challenges have evolved over the years an consider the elements to creating a successful national energy strategic that is comprehensive and takes into account the role of alternative energy, diplomatic initiatives, transparency policy, and social change. 3 1 1500 1615 TR BKH 229 Jaffe, Amy M. 24 22 0 0 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=24678&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 MSCI 555

School of Social Sciences Anthropology 25403 MONEY AND EVERYDAY LIFE Money is such a part of everyday modern life that it is hard for us to imagine living without it. Yet in many pre-modern societies, gift-exchange was as important as money is in our own. This course will look at the cultural dimensions of systems of exchange, ranging from gift giving among Northwest Coast Indians to foreign currency exchanges between financial institutions. Along with the classic work of Marx and Simmel on money and capital, we will also cover some of the anthropological work on gifts and exchange, such as that of Mauss, Levi-Strauss, and Bourdies, as well as some of the contemporary debates initiated by Bataille and Derrida. 3 1 Distribution Group II 1900 2200 R RZR 121 Ranova, Elitza S. 19 18 19 0 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=25403&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 RELI 481

School of Humanities German Studies 26469 GERMAN POETRY "If the soul speaks out, alas! it is no longer the soul that speaks" - in Schiller's famous line one of the many fascinating paradoxes of lyric poetry is expressed. With the tradition of the "Lied," poems set to music, German poetry of the Classical-Romantic epoch was soon to become the epitome of lyric poetry as such. There were, however, poems of quite different kinds before and after Goethe, Eichendorff, and Heine. Without neglecting the Classical-Romantic period, the course will explore the history of lyric expression in German literature from the early modern period to the present in both poems and theoretical texts.

A multitude of new learning algorithms have been recently developed, in particular in the sparse approximation domain. Thus far, the basic functionality of the new algorithms have been mostly verified and evaluated in simulation packages such as Matlab and software implementation. Application-specific customization and hardware implementation would bring orders-of-magnitude energy-performance efficiency improvement to important learning methods. The course will include FPGA reconfigurable fabric architecture and design flow, high analysis of multimedia processing VLSI architectures, and prototyping on FPGA. The focus of the project will be implementation of the state-of-the-art signal processing and learning algorithms on FPGA. 3 1 1050 1205 TR DCH Sym II Lab Koushanfar, Farinaz 25 7 0 0 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27224&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 HURC 601

School of Continuing Studies School of Continuing Studies 27500 THE GRAND DESIGN The book “The Grand Design” by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow asks the big questions: how did our universe begin and is it the only one or are there multiple parallel universes; why is there something rather than nothing; why are we here; why are the laws of nature so finely tuned that they allow a stable universe? Guided by the Hawking/Mlodinow book, this course will explore these questions. We will address the question: do the laws of physics provide for the possibility of a multiplicity of universes of which ours, by happenstance or probability, turned out to have the right set of physical constants to provide for a stable universe and hence the possibility of life or is a Devine Creator necessary? To address these questions we will take a layman’s tour of basic concepts of cosmology, quantum mechanics, relativity, string theory, and extra-dimensions. 3 LSS 1815 2130 W BRK 103 Freeman, John W. 0 16 0 0 Department permission required http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27500&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 COLL 299

How did human rights become the premier moral language of our times and the idiom in which recent generations frame their idealism? While universal human rights may seem timeless, they have a long and checkered political and philosophical history. This seminar will explore that history through anthropology and legal studies as well as through case studies of non-governmental organizations. Special attention will be given to international law and shifts in international politics in the twentieth century. The course will also analyze the passions that motivated people to pursue human rights and the empathy that led them to uproot injustice. 3 LSS 1815 2130 T HUM 226 Cohen, Gerard D. 0 9 0 0 Department permission required http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27501&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 MLSC 600

School of Architecture Architecture 27363 WHOLE WORLDS The seminar aims to conceptualize and project on the idea of architectural world-making, i.e. constructing alternative worlds through architecture. During the last two decades, architectural world-making has mostly been speculated as a social (participation) or a systemic (infrastructure) phenomenon, judged on the basis of its inclusiveness and performance within larger contingencies. On the other hand, the question of disciplinary specificity has by and large been limited to self-referntial attributes of exclusive singularity. As part of outlining new directions in relation to these questions, the seminar will specualate and project on an alternative framework of architectural world-making, which both aims multiplicity and singularity while projecting unconventional associations between the two. Through focusing on a particular lineage of architectural ideas, projects and texts, the seminar aims to instigate further interplay between critical thinking and speculative work for future architectures. 3 1 1300 1529 R ANH 148 Turan, Fatma N. 7 2 0 0 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27363&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 CLAS 103

Jones School of Business Management 27152 MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING The course provides an introduction to accounting systems that managers use to support decision making and to align behaviors. The objective of cost management systems is to provide information about costs; including, but not limited to costs of products and services. While financial accounting requires that product cost information be accumulated in particular ways for external reporting, these approaches often provide inadequate information for managing the firm. Management accounting is distinct from financial accounting in its focus on internal (to the firm) uses of accounting and nonfinancial data and in the relative absence of external rules-making bodies such as the SEC or FASB and external monitors such as public accounting firms. 1.5 PW4 TBA Uecker, Wilfred C. 65 65 0 0 Must be enrolled in one of the following Program(s):MBA,MBA for Professionals. http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27152&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 MGMW 543

However, this course provides a unique twist to further challenge the students – the real-world problem is based on a Houston-based, socialoriented community organization. Students will work with senior executives at these organizations and the course instructors through the semester to develop thorough and actionable solutions to the strategic challenges facing these organizations. For instance, cases include growth strategies, turnaround strategies, business plans for major programs, alliance/partnership strategies, and entrepreneurial start-ups. Capstone organizations come from many different parts of the community, including education/childhood development, healthcare, social services, and environment/conservation, as well as come in many different sizes. 3 PS0 TBA VanHorn, David A. 40 35 0 0 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27161&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 MGMP 645

School of Humanities Philosophy 27288 SEM SOCIAL &POLITICAL PHILO Terms such as "capitalism," "socialism," "corporate greed," and "class warfare" have come to play a central role in contemporary political discourse. But what are the historical and philosophical origins of these concepts? How might a richer understanding of such concepts allow us to exchange the often vague and divisive political rhetoric for meaningful, productive dialogue? This seminar aims to answer such questions through an in-depth analysis of the social and political writings of Adam Smith and Karl Marx. We will divide our time roughly evenly between the two great architects of modern political economy, focusing the first half of the term on Smith's *Theory of Moral Sentiments* and *The Wealth of Nations*, and the second half on Marx's early political writings and critique of capitalist economy. 3 1 1300 1559 F HUM 227 Miller, Jason M. 10 5 0 0 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27288&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 RELI 399

School of Architecture Architecture 27364 WHOLE WORLDS The seminar aims to conceptualize and project on the idea of architectural world-making, i.e. constructing alternative worlds through architecture. During the last two decades, architectural world-making has mostly been speculated as a social (participation) or a systemic (infrastructure) phenomenon, judged on the basis of its inclusiveness and performance within larger contingencies. On the other hand, the question of disciplinary specificity has by and large been limited to self-referntial attributes of exclusive singularity. As part of outlining new directions in relation to these questions, the seminar will specualate and project on an alternative framework of architectural world-making, which both aims multiplicity and singularity while projecting unconventional associations between the two. Through focusing on a particular lineage of architectural ideas, projects and texts, the seminar aims to instigate further interplay between critical thinking and speculative work for future architectures. 3 1 1300 1529 R ANH 148 Turan, Fatma N. 8 7 0 0 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27364&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 ARCH 603

School of Architecture Architecture 27366 COHERENCE This seminar will construct a conversation about coherence. The opening salvo in this conversation: architects traffic entirely in greater or lesser degrees of coherence. A series of questions will start our discussion: How so? What structures underlie coherence in architecture? Is coherence necessarily overt? Latent? How is coherence fruitful today? 3 1 1300 1529 R TBA Witte, Ronald R. 8 3 0 0 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27366&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 ARTS 391

This course concentrates on room acoustics and explains the basic acoustical principles beginning with practical definitions of industry-wise acoustical terms. This view of the essentials necessary to architectural design of acoustically sensitive spaces focuses on questions like what acoustical factors should be considered when designing a space and how to specify the correct acoustical ceiling system for your design needs which may vary from space to space. During this course students will learn how to create a space that takes a space that takes acoustics into consideration, what products to use, when and where to use them. Technical knowledge will be supported by the field studies (tours to the important halls in Houston will be arranged). 3 1 1300 1600 T TBA Bayazit, Nurgun 5 4 0 0 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27261&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 ARCH 638

Putnam's "Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community" (2000), architecture's social agency has been notoriously and productively difficult to pin down and architecture's relationship to the social sciences has been as tense as it has been constant. The course will focus its efforts on architecture's past and potential contribution to what has historically been called 'civic association' - the realm of social activity outside the market and purview of the state. Each class will focus on a particular architectural mode of social projection through the close reading of a single architectural work. In the major assignment for the course, students will be asked to conceive alternate architectural modes of social engagement and to speculate on their potential implications. 3 1 1900 2145 W TBA Colman, Scott W. 12 8 0 0 http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27264&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 ARCH 670

School of Continuing Studies School of Continuing Studies 27280 PSYCHOLOGY OF HAPPINESS Truth, beauty and, yes, happiness, are issues that have engaged thoughtful people over the centuries. What is happiness (and what makes us happy)? Until recently we have relied on philosophers and religious thinkers for answers to that question, and many of them have provided useful recipes that seem to work for at least some people some of the time. The last century or so has seen many psychologists and self-help gurus who have also handed out (well, more often sold) recipes that generally seem to be less satisfactory than the wisdom of the ancients. Interestingly until recently psychologists have tended to ignore this seeming important topic, but in the past 10 or so years social and personality psychologists, neuroscientists and even economists have begun to pose empirically answerable questions about happiness and to find some data-based answers to what makes people happy. In this course we will read some of the traditional wisdom provided by religious and philosophical thinkers, but we will focus primarily on questions and issues that are subject to empirical resolution. 3 LSW 1815 2130 R HUM 226 Schneider, David J. 0 14 0 0 Department permission required Must be enrolled in one of the following Major(s): Liberal Studies. http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27280&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 MLSC 612

Jones School of Business Management 27094 MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS Marketing Communications is the Promotion “P” of the traditional 4 Ps of the Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) as taught in marketing courses. In Services Marketing courses, they sometimes add three additional Ps (People, Processes and Physical Evidence) to the Marketing Mix (becoming 7 Ps) due to the intangible characteristics of services that add to the marketing challenges. In this course, we will focus on the concept of Integrated Marketing Communications. We will consider the unique situations of various organizations and the implications for the Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) program. And we will discuss the IMC processes, media and tools and their roles in contributing to the success of the program. The tools available include Advertising, Direct Marketing, Interactive/Internet Marketing, Sales Promotion, PR/publicity, and Personal Selling. We will look at the various tools/media available and the strengths and weaknesses of each when applied to a given organization and its situation. Some organizations leverage all of these tools in their IMC programs while some will emphasize as few as one or two. That is because each organization’s situation (internally and environmentally) is unique. 1.5 MT4 1815 2130 M MCN 218 Carson, Gary K. 65 12 0 0 Must be enrolled in one of the following Program(s):MBA,MBA for Professionals. http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_action=COURSE&p_crn=27094&p_term=201220 201220 Spring 12 MGMT 686

<title>INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMS</title>
<description>
In many applications one is faced with the task of simulating or controlling complex dynamical systems. Such applications include for instance, weather prediction, air quality management, VLSI chip design, molecular dynamics, active noise reduction, chemical reactors, etc. In all these cases complexity manifests itself as the number of first order differential equations which arise. For the above examples, depending on the level of modeling detail required, complexity may range anywhere from a few thousand to a few million first order equations, and above. Simulating (controlling) systems of such complexity becomes a challenging problem, irrespective of the computational resources available. In this course we will set the foundations for model of linear systems. For this, state space representation will be introduced and analyzed. One of the main conclusions will be that certain appropriately defined singular values will provide the trade-off between accuracy and complexity of these dynamical systems.

<title>ORD DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS</title>
<description>
Study of ordinary differential equations (e.g., solutions to separable and linear first-order equations and to higher-order linear equations with constant coefficients, the properties of solutions to differential equations, and numerical solution methods) and linear algebra (e.g., vector spaces and solutions to algebraic linear equations, dimension, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors of a matrix), as well as the application of linear algebra to first-order systems of differential equations and the qualitative theory of nonlinear systems and phase portraits. Use of the computers in Owlnet as part of each homework assignment required. Credit may not be received for both MATH 211 and MATH 213.

This new course will focus on the period of 1950 to 2000, when results of a formerly secret technology dramatically ended World War II and became a central concern of American cultural and political life.

<title>SENIOR DESIGN</title>
<description>
Senior Design is a year-long course required of all BSEE-degree students. Students should register for ELEC 494 for both semesters. Teams of students will design, construct, and document a prototype system to meet specifications determined by the team and the instructor. Senior design projects are the culmination of the Rice engineering experience. Cross-departmental projects are allowed and encouraged, and extensive use will be made of the Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen. Many projects will involve advisors from industrial affiliates. Throughout the year there will be several opportunities for presentations on the project. Top projects will be eligible for several awards from within Rice and outside the university, including some nation-wide competitions.

<title>SOCIETY IN THE INFORMATION AGE</title>
<description>
We will review the remarkable technology of the Information Age and examine its effects on the ways in which we live, work and think about the world around us. We will consider, for example, how the pervasive use of computers and networks is changing our ideas about property, privacy, authority, social relations, knowledge and identity. An we will discuss what further changes we might see as technology continues to advance.

<title>FEMINIST DEBATES</title>
<description>
This course identifies and traces three streams of thought by debates about major issues in women's studies. While the content of these streams will vary-the course will always be attentive to the historical and theoretical context of the debates in question and to the intersection of these debates with others. Topics might include: public and private spheres; the relation between the local and the global links between gender and sexuality; the problem of identity; the relation between activist and academic feminism.

<title>REALISM TO MODERNITY-1850-PRES</title>
<description>
German history and culture during the late 19th and the 29th century have been rather turbulent: From Wilhelminian empire to Weimar democracy to Hitler fascism to socialist division to German reunification to entry into the European Union. All these political changes will be commented on by cultural reflections in textual and filmic forms. Literary texts will include Fontane, Mann, Kafka, Boll, Grass, Wolf and Maron. Taught in German.

<title>MULTICULTURAL EUROPE,1400-1700</title>
<description>
The art of Europe was never the product of a single culture working in isolation. This seminar will explore the multicultural aspects of medieval and early modern Europe by focusing on the visual culture of groups who defined themselves or are today defined by nationality, race, or religion. For each lecture, Graduate Students will be assigned additional readings. They will write an annotated bibliography of all the readings to be turned in at the end of the semester. We will meet for an additional two or three weeks to discuss the interpretive and methodological problems and ideas associated with the readings. Graduate students will be expected to complete all the requirements of the class in addition to writing a substantial research paper due at the end of the semester.

<title>ALGORITHMIC THINKING</title>
<description>
Algorithms are the engines of a great majority of systems, natural and artificial alike. This course introduces algorithmic thinking as a discipline for reasoning about systems, taming their complexities, and elucidating their properties. Algorithmic techniques, along with their correctness and efficiency, will be taught through reasoning about systems of interactions, such as markets, that are ubiquitous in our highly connected world.

<title>RETHINKING SUBURBAN LIVING</title>
<description>
A major portion of urbanized America is in areas loosely referred to as sprawl. here the subdivision is the dominant living unit. Although New Urbanism has provided adjustments to this common model, few truly innovative models of suburban living exist. The reason for this conservatism is manifold. This seminar will challenge the status quo through a series of unusual strategies, motivated by a series of assumptions drawn from the French philosopher Alain Badiou's "The Century" - a highly polmical view of the 20th century. Registration limited to graduate and 5th year Architecture students.

<title>POLITICS, DEMOCRACY AND ISLAM</title>
<description>
STUDY ABROAD CAPA IN LONDON ONLY. This course seeks to develop an in-depth understanding of democratic citizenship, identity, and religion among young Muslims in London's East End. It first examines the foundations of participatory democracy and their adaptation to an increasingly de-territorialized world. The course then illustrates the subsequent conflicts with an examination of Muslim migrant communities' confrontation with Western democratic policies. We consider a range of explanations for sociopolitical alienation, and introduce the concept of 'Apartism.' Finally, these concepts an applications are actually encountered on field trips to the East End to look at the history and reality of the discussed socio-political phenomena, face-to-face.

<title>SOCIAL STATISTICS</title>
<description>
Emphasizes the practical uses of statistics to answer the types of questions sociologists ask. We learn sample description, sampling and probability, sampling theory, and how to make inferences from samples to populations. We study and apply common univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistics. Because most statistical analysis is done with the aid of computers, we also learn how to use a common statistical package.

<title>FRESHMAN BIOLOGY SEMINAR (BCB)</title>
<description>
A 7-week seminar course to introduce freshmen prospective biologists to the excitement of research at Rice and the Medical Center and to provide context with which to think about facts presented in biosciences textbooks. Small groups will meet weekly with a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher to explore a published research article by a local lab, gaining background information about the subject and exposure to the research techniques.

<title>ECONOMIC MODLG & PUBLIC POLICY</title>
<description>
Economists and policy makers often use computable general equilibrium (CGE) models to analyze the economic effects of public policy reforms. This course examines theoretical aspects of general equilibrium modeling, constructs some basic CGE models, and shows how the models are used to analyze the efficiency, distributional, and transitional effects of various policy reforms. Federal tax reform in the U.S. is the primary policy application; other issues examined may include Social Security, environmental policy, and international trade.

<title>ENERGY POLICY</title>
<description>
Energy has long been a major factor in the formulation of national security, foreign policy and domestic economic strategies as well as a driving force in the exercise of national power and general international discourse. Oil is frequently linked to war, civil and ethnic conflict, terrorism, poverty, corruption and social injustice. As national energy security concerns and pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensify, large energy consuming countries like the United States are struggling to improve their national energy policy in the broader context of international relations and domestic economic policy. This course will look in depth at how energy security challenges have evolved over the years an consider the elements to creating a successful national energy strategic that is comprehensive and takes into account the role of alternative energy, diplomatic initiatives, transparency policy, and social change.

<title>FRESHMAN BIOLOGY SEMINAR (BCB)</title>
<description>
A 7-week seminar course to introduce freshmen prospective biologists to the excitement of research at Rice and the Medical Center and to provide context with which to think about facts presented in biosciences textbooks. Small groups will meet weekly with a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher to explore a published research article by a local lab, gaining background information about the subject and exposure to the research techniques. In the final session, the group will tour the lab that produced the featured article. Additional tours and activities TBA. All first-year non-transfer students are eligible to enroll in BIOC 115/FSEM 115 regardless of AP credit. This course meets in the second half of the semester and features research in the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Course organizers: Dereth Phillips and Bonnie Bartel.

<title>UNDERGRADUATE HONORS RESEARCH</title>
<description>
The Biochemistry and Cell Biology Honors Research Program is a suite of courses offering our seniors and advanced juniors the opportunity to perform a two-semester, individual research project in a research laboratory in Biochemistry & Cell Biology. Students having performed BIOS/BIOC 310 research in an off-campus laboratory in the Texas Medical Center will also be eligible to apply to perform honors research in that laboratory. Registration for any of the courses requires a commitment to register for all three. Requires at least 15 hours of laboratory research per week, monthly reports, a thesis (substantial research paper) and a poster presentation at the Rice Undergraduate Research Symposium. Either BIOC 401 or BIOC 402, but not both, may count as a Biosciences Group A course. Co-req course BIOC 412.

<title>ALGORITHMIC THINKING</title>
<description>
Algorithms are the engines of a great majority of systems, natural and artificial alike. This course introduces algorithmic thinking as a discipline for reasoning about systems, taming their complexities, and elucidating their properties. Algorithmic techniques, along with their correctness and efficiency, will be taught through reasoning about systems of interactions, such as markets, that are ubiquitous in our highly connected world.

<title>TOPICS IN CLINICAL TRIALS</title>
<description>
This course deals with fundamental concepts in the design of clinical studies, ranging from early dose-finding studies (phase I) to screening studies (phase II) to randomized comparative studies (phase III). The goal is to prepare the student to read the clinical trial literature critically and to design clinical studies. Additionally, the faculty will introduce newer designs for clinical studies that incorporate prior knowledge and/or satisfy optimality considerations. Topics include protocol writing; randomization; sample size calculation; study design options; interim monitoring; adaptive designs; multiple end points; and writing up the results of a clinical trial for publication.

<title>SOCIAL STATISTICS</title>
<description>
Emphasizes the practical uses of statistics to answer the types of questions sociologists ask. We learn sample description, sampling and probability, sampling theory, and how to make inferences from samples to populations. We study and apply common univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistics. Because most statistical analysis is done with the aid of computers, we also learn how to use a common statistical package.

<title>FROM KAFKA TO HOLOCAUST</title>
<description>
The beginnings of modernity have to be seen in the context of the sociopolitical and intellectual upheavals at the end of the 19th century. Whereas extreme reactionism eventually led to fascism, progressive literature advocated artistic experimentation as manifested in a discourse of alienation (expressionism, dada, Kafka). Holocaust literature reflects the ultimate clash between progressiveness and reactionism. The primary readings will be from Wedekind, Trakl, Kaiser, Kafka, Hesse, Remarque, Brecht, Celan, Werfel. Taught in English. This course is limited to first year students only, any others will be removed from this course.

<title>FOURTH WORLD:INDIGENOUS PEOPLE</title>
<description>
In contrast with people self-identified within political structures of the First, Second and Third Worlds, Fourth World peoples are, generally speaking, "stateless peoples." In this course we will examine both how this "unofficial" status affects their struggle for self-determination and how native peoples engage traditional beliefs and practices for self-empowerment. Through readings, films and speakers we will examine current conflicts facing indigenous people in North and South America, the Soviet Union, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

<title>MONEY AND EVERYDAY LIFE</title>
<description>
Money is such a part of everyday modern life that it is hard for us to imagine living without it. Yet in many pre-modern societies, gift-exchange was as important as money is in our own. This course will look at the cultural dimensions of systems of exchange, ranging from gift giving among Northwest Coast Indians to foreign currency exchanges between financial institutions. Along with the classic work of Marx and Simmel on money and capital, we will also cover some of the anthropological work on gifts and exchange, such as that of Mauss, Levi-Strauss, and Bourdies, as well as some of the contemporary debates initiated by Bataille and Derrida.

<title>TOPICS IN NANOPHOTONICS</title>
<description>
This course is designed as a cornerstone for the NSF funded Integrative Graduate Research and Educational Training (IGERT) program in nanophotonics. It is also an official "home" for the Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP) seminars that serve as a forum for the interaction between researchers in nanophotonics at Rice. The conversational atmosphere of the seminar continues the relatively unstructured spirit of the interaction that has been the hallmark of past LANP meetings and collaboration. The course is open to graduate students who are interested in pursuing research in Nanophotonics.

<title>SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT</title>
<description>
This is a multidisciplinary course in which students explore the origins, connections and consequence of social and political tensions arising from the expansion of commercial energy resources in unique and rapidly changing Arctic and sub-Artic environments. The challenge for the class will be to understand that in matters of sustainable development systemic complexities often give rise to a disconnect between analysis and decision-making. Topics will include the impacts of commercial energy development and drilling in rapidly changing Arctic environments, as well as strategies that can promote sustainable development and improved conditions for indigenous populations in the context of environmental challenges associated with the Arctic meltdown and drilling activities for oil and gas. Methodologies for structuring the analysis to be applied to enhance systemic resilience of the Alaska environment will be presented. Students will learn explore the barriers to sustainable development and discuss cost-effective, culturally appropriate solutions to energy related issues by integrating technical, organizational, and personal perspectives. Each class will have formal lectures(s) by Rice faculty or guest lecturer. Registered students are eligible to apply for a summer internship in Alaska.

<title>CRISIS LEADERSHIP</title>
<description>
Change is at the heart of leadership and the most challenging leadership experiences often occur during times of crisis when change is unfolding at a breathtaking pace. Leadership strategies employed during crises can be quite different than times of routine change. In this course we'll explore courses of action, both taken and not taken, by leaders facing extraordinary decisions during major public crises such as the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, Swine Flu in 1976, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

<title>COLLAGE</title>
<description>
Collage has been an influential component of modern art since the Cubist first pasted found papers onto their canvases in 1908. The deceptively simple technique affected almost every 20th century art movement including Constructivism, Dada, Surrealism, Pop, Situationism, and contemporary digital practice. This course traces the history of collage, assemblage, and montage through slides, films, and museum visits. Students will be expected to maintain a consistent studio practice in collage and take part in class critiques and discussions. Space in studio classes is limited. Registration does not guarantee a place in class. The class roster is formulated on the first day of class by the instructor.

<title>GERMAN POETRY</title>
<description>
"If the soul speaks out, alas! it is no longer the soul that speaks" - in Schiller's famous line one of the many fascinating paradoxes of lyric poetry is expressed. With the tradition of the "Lied," poems set to music, German poetry of the Classical-Romantic epoch was soon to become the epitome of lyric poetry as such. There were, however, poems of quite different kinds before and after Goethe, Eichendorff, and Heine. Without neglecting the Classical-Romantic period, the course will explore the history of lyric expression in German literature from the early modern period to the present in both poems and theoretical texts. Taught in German.

Independent research in Rice BCB faculty laboratories (sections 3-30) or other Texas Medical Center laboratories (sections 1 & 2). Students spend at least 3 hours per week in the laboratory for each semester hour of credit. If taken for 3 or more hours, counts as one required 300+ level lab course (not BIOC 311). Requires a proposal abstract, weekly reports, and a research paper (fall semester) or a proposal abstract, weekly reports, and a poster presentation (spring semester). Students wishing to perform their research in an off-campus lab must submit a completed application to the BIOC 310 instructor at least 2 weeks prior to the start of classes and may not register for fewer than 3 credit hours.

<title>FRESHMAN BIOLOGY SEMINAR (EEB)</title>
<description>
A 5-week seminar course to introduce freshmen prospective biologists to the excitement of research at Rice and the Medical Center and to provide context with which to think about facts presented in biosciences textbooks. Small groups will meet weekly with a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher to explore a published research article by a local lab, gaining background information about the subject and exposure to the research techniques. In the final session, the group will tour the lab that produced the featured article. Additional tours and activities TBA. All first-year, non-transfer students are eligible to enroll in EBIO 116/FSEM 116 (formerly BIOS 116) regardless of AP credit. This course meets in the first half of the semester and features research in the Department of Ecology and Environmental Biology. Course organizers: Strassmann, Phillips.

<title>SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT</title>
<description>
This is a multidisciplinary course in which students explore the origins, connections and consequence of social and political tensions arising from the expansion of commercial energy resources in unique and rapidly changing Arctic and sub-Artic environments. The challenge for the class will be to understand that in matters of sustainable development systemic complexities often give rise to a disconnect between analysis and decision-making. Topics will include the impacts of commercial energy development and drilling in rapidly changing Arctic environments, as well as strategies that can promote sustainable development and improved conditions for indigenous populations in the context of environmental challenges associated with the Arctic meltdown and drilling activities for oil and gas. Methodologies for structuring the analysis to be applied to enhance systemic resilience of the Alaska environment will be presented. Students will learn explore the barriers to sustainable development and discuss cost-effective, culturally appropriate solutions to energy related issues by integrating technical, organizational, and personal perspectives. Each class will have formal lectures(s) by Rice faculty or guest lecturer. Registered students are eligible to apply for a summer internship in Alaska.

<title>RECEPTION OF THE HOLOCAUST</title>
<description>
Why is the Holocaust remembered? How is it remembered? What do the terms "Holocaust" and "Shoah" mean? As the years progress, the memory of the Holocaust fades and becomes less relevant to younger generations. The focus of this class aims to answer these questions by analyzing the reception of the Holocaust, particularly in the 21st century.

<title>INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES</title>
<description>
Applied psychologists attempt to build theoretical and empirical models that effectively explain how variation in individual differences (e.g., cognitive ability, personality, motivation, interests) relates to variation in practically relevant outcomes (e.g., training effectiveness, job performance, response to clinical treatment). This course covers major theoretical and methodological approaches to this end.

<title>RHETORICAL CRITICISM</title>
<description>
This course emphasizes the study of historical and contemporary speech texts and other forms of public communication and surveys the major approaches in scholarly rhetorical criticism from ancient to contemporary times. The course will focus on learning and applying the methods to communication artifacts. Because rhetorical criticism is an interdisciplinary endeavor, the course will survey material from many fields. The goal of the course is to come away with basic knowledge of several approaches and detailed knowledge of at least one approach. A better understanding of the construction of public communication is an important outcome of the course.

<title>BRAND MANAGEMENT</title>
<description>
Brand Management is an elective class that addresses important branding decisions faced by an organization. Its basic objectives are: 1) to provide students with a complete understanding of the consumer and of how consumers develop brand attitudes and behaviors; 2) to increase understanding of the important issues in planning and evaluating brand strategies; and 3) to provide a forum for students to apply branding strategies in a variety of domains. Particular emphasis is placed in the course on understanding psychological principles at the consumer or customer level that will improve managerial decision-making with respect to brands. One aim of the course is to make these concepts relevant for any type of organization (public or private, large or small, etc).

<title>ARCHITECTING ALGORITHMS</title>
<description>
This course focuses on architecture development and hardware realization of contemporary learning algorithms. A multitude of new learning algorithms have been recently developed, in particular in the sparse approximation domain. Thus far, the basic functionality of the new algorithms have been mostly verified and evaluated in simulation packages such as Matlab and software implementation. Application-specific customization and hardware implementation would bring orders-of-magnitude energy-performance efficiency improvement to important learning methods. The course will include FPGA reconfigurable fabric architecture and design flow, high analysis of multimedia processing VLSI architectures, and prototyping on FPGA. The focus of the project will be implementation of the state-of-the-art signal processing and learning algorithms on FPGA.

<title>THE GRAND DESIGN</title>
<description>
The book “The Grand Design” by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow asks the big questions: how did our universe begin and is it the only one or are there multiple parallel universes; why is there something rather than nothing; why are we here; why are the laws of nature so finely tuned that they allow a stable universe? Guided by the Hawking/Mlodinow book, this course will explore these questions. We will address the question: do the laws of physics provide for the possibility of a multiplicity of universes of which ours, by happenstance or probability, turned out to have the right set of physical constants to provide for a stable universe and hence the possibility of life or is a Devine Creator necessary? To address these questions we will take a layman’s tour of basic concepts of cosmology, quantum mechanics, relativity, string theory, and extra-dimensions.

<description>
This thematic seminar examines significant historical moments in the architectural and urban cultural of the Ottoman imperial capital from the moment it was conquered until the demise of the Ottoman Empire. Weekly readings and discussions will cover a range of topics including building patronage, architectural decorum, the Byzantine legacy, artistic relations with Persia, India and Europe, cultural pluralism, neighborhood and public life, law and urban order, modernity and modernization. For each lecture, Graduate Students will be assigned additional readings. They will write an annotated bibliography of all these reading to be turned in at the end of the semester. We will meet at the end of the semester. We will meet for an additional every two or three weeks to discuss interpretive and methodological problems and ideas associated with the readings. Graduate Students will be expected to complete all the requirements of the class in addition to writing a substantial research paper due at the end of the semester.

<title>HUMAN RIGHTS IN WORLD AFFAIRS</title>
<description>
The course examines the history of human rights and humanitarianism from the eighteenth century Enlightenment era to the present. How did human rights become the premier moral language of our times and the idiom in which recent generations frame their idealism? While universal human rights may seem timeless, they have a long and checkered political and philosophical history. This seminar will explore that history through anthropology and legal studies as well as through case studies of non-governmental organizations. Special attention will be given to international law and shifts in international politics in the twentieth century. The course will also analyze the passions that motivated people to pursue human rights and the empathy that led them to uproot injustice.

<title>ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL BRITAIN</title>
<description>
From the murky prehistoric times of Stonehenge and New Grange to the tumultuous times of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, the dramatic combinations of history and myth have continually fascinated lovers of the British Isles. This course will explore ancient and medieval Britain, meandering from prehistoric sites to the early invaders, from the delightful legends of Glastonbury to the centuries of Raman invasions, from the Anglo-Saxon heptarchy to the Norman invasion, and from the hegemony of the Roman Catholic church to the challenge of secular kings.

<title>WHOLE WORLDS</title>
<description>
The seminar aims to conceptualize and project on the idea of architectural world-making, i.e. constructing alternative worlds through architecture. During the last two decades, architectural world-making has mostly been speculated as a social (participation) or a systemic (infrastructure) phenomenon, judged on the basis of its inclusiveness and performance within larger contingencies. On the other hand, the question of disciplinary specificity has by and large been limited to self-referntial attributes of exclusive singularity. As part of outlining new directions in relation to these questions, the seminar will specualate and project on an alternative framework of architectural world-making, which both aims multiplicity and singularity while projecting unconventional associations between the two. Through focusing on a particular lineage of architectural ideas, projects and texts, the seminar aims to instigate further interplay between critical thinking and speculative work for future architectures.

<title>INNOV.DESIGN & CONST. INDUSTRY</title>
<description>
Process innovation in the design and construction industries is far too rare. Even with access to powerful tools such as CADD and the Internet, many opportunities for process improvement are overlooked and problems are repeatedly ignored. Within this course, cross-discipline project teams will use contemporary business tools to evaluate longstanding industry practices and develop ideas for process innovation. At the end of the semester, students will present innovation concepts to members of the Project Delivery Innovation Forum, a group of industry leaders that may select student ideas for further research on real projects.

<title>HISTORY & THEORY II - PRE 1890</title>
<description>
This course will trace the development of Renaissance and Baroque architecture in Italy and France with reference to the dialectic of license and rule. The first part, which covers the period from 1400-1600, will focus on the civil, domestic, and ecclesiastical architecture of the chief protagonists of the Italian Renaissance: Brunelleschi, Alberti, Bramante, Giulio Romano, Michelangelo and Palladio. Their buildings and urban initiatives will be interpreted in terms of continuities & discontinuities between an emerging theoretical tradition and the demands of actual practice.

<title>CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICUM</title>
<description>
Literary and artistic creativity, religious experience, and textual interpretation often draw on focused states of consciousness made possible by contemplative practices. The practicum will provide historical information about such practices and offer opportunities to particpate in techniques ranging from meditation and observing breath to freeform writing and T'ai Chi. Graduate students would be expected to write a longer paper and/or to include a segment on contemplative practice in connection with whatever course they are taking. In either case this will involve readings and issues beyond what the undergraduates are responsible for, and which will be developed with each graduate student on an individual basis.

<title>MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING</title>
<description>
The course provides an introduction to accounting systems that managers use to support decision making and to align behaviors. The objective of cost management systems is to provide information about costs; including, but not limited to costs of products and services. While financial accounting requires that product cost information be accumulated in particular ways for external reporting, these approaches often provide inadequate information for managing the firm. Management accounting is distinct from financial accounting in its focus on internal (to the firm) uses of accounting and nonfinancial data and in the relative absence of external rules-making bodies such as the SEC or FASB and external monitors such as public accounting firms.

<title>PROGRAM CAPSTONE</title>
<description>
The MBA-P Capstone course gives students the opportunity to apply the multi-functional (strategy, finance, marketing, organizational behavior, etc.) knowledge that they have gained in the program and their own professional experience to solve a complex, real-world managerial problem. However, this course provides a unique twist to further challenge the students – the real-world problem is based on a Houston-based, socialoriented community organization. Students will work with senior executives at these organizations and the course instructors through the semester to develop thorough and actionable solutions to the strategic challenges facing these organizations. For instance, cases include growth strategies, turnaround strategies, business plans for major programs, alliance/partnership strategies, and entrepreneurial start-ups. Capstone organizations come from many different parts of the community, including education/childhood development, healthcare, social services, and environment/conservation, as well as come in many different sizes.

<title>RE CAP MARKETS: PUBLIC & PRIV</title>
<description>
This course has two major objectives: First, to provide an overview of topics related to real estate capital markets. Specifically, this course will focus on how to raise capital for: private real estate development, construction, acquisition, and investment; and, Public Companies, more specifically, REITs. It will build on your real estate and finance knowledge and interest; and provide depth and breadth of the financial markets and its players, on Wall Street, and outside of Wall Street. This course will devote time to understand the working of the Capital Markets, considered by most industry leaders to be the source of the “lubricant” necessary to turn the wheels towards the creation of value; and, by others, to be source of the ” leverage” necessary to profit from a “Zero Sum Game.” Second, this course is an elective related to real estate in a series available to prepare Rice MBA students interested in career opportunities in the Real Estate Industry in finance, and more specifically in Banking, and Investment banking, Private Real Estate Companies, and REITs. You need to have a reasonably good understanding of the creation of value through the workings of various asset classes of real estate, and be able to build on that knowledge by learning the sources of Capital and how Capital can accessed. You will be challenged to determined what came first the “chicken” or the “egg,” (i.e. Does having control of the “real estate,” give you access to capital; or, alternatively by having control of the “capital” give you the opportunity to acquire real estate? You will also need to have an understanding of financial analysis to evaluate the Capital needs of an investment, and to determine alternative financial strategies.

<title>MBA-P PROGRAM CAPSTONE</title>
<description>
The MBA-P Capstone course gives students the opportunity to apply their multi-functional (strategy, finance, marketing, organizational behavior, etc.) knowledge that they have gained in the program and their own professional experience to solve a complex, real-world managerial problem. However, this course will provide a unique twist to challenge the students - the real-world problem will be faced by a non-corporate, Houston-based, community organization. Students will work with senior executives at these organizations over the course of the semester to develop actionable solutions to strategic challenges facing these organizations.

<title>SEM SOCIAL &POLITICAL PHILO</title>
<description>
Terms such as "capitalism," "socialism," "corporate greed," and "class warfare" have come to play a central role in contemporary political discourse. But what are the historical and philosophical origins of these concepts? How might a richer understanding of such concepts allow us to exchange the often vague and divisive political rhetoric for meaningful, productive dialogue? This seminar aims to answer such questions through an in-depth analysis of the social and political writings of Adam Smith and Karl Marx. We will divide our time roughly evenly between the two great architects of modern political economy, focusing the first half of the term on Smith's *Theory of Moral Sentiments* and *The Wealth of Nations*, and the second half on Marx's early political writings and critique of capitalist economy.

<title>CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICUM</title>
<description>
Literary and artistic creativity, religious experience, and textual interpretation often draw on focused states of consciousness made possible by contemplative practices. The practicum will provid historical information about such practices and offer opportunities to participate in techniques ranging from mediatation and observing breath to freeform writing and T'ai Chi.

<title>WHOLE WORLDS</title>
<description>
The seminar aims to conceptualize and project on the idea of architectural world-making, i.e. constructing alternative worlds through architecture. During the last two decades, architectural world-making has mostly been speculated as a social (participation) or a systemic (infrastructure) phenomenon, judged on the basis of its inclusiveness and performance within larger contingencies. On the other hand, the question of disciplinary specificity has by and large been limited to self-referntial attributes of exclusive singularity. As part of outlining new directions in relation to these questions, the seminar will specualate and project on an alternative framework of architectural world-making, which both aims multiplicity and singularity while projecting unconventional associations between the two. Through focusing on a particular lineage of architectural ideas, projects and texts, the seminar aims to instigate further interplay between critical thinking and speculative work for future architectures.

<title>COHERENCE</title>
<description>
This seminar will construct a conversation about coherence. The opening salvo in this conversation: architects traffic entirely in greater or lesser degrees of coherence. A series of questions will start our discussion: How so? What structures underlie coherence in architecture? Is coherence necessarily overt? Latent? How is coherence fruitful today?

<title>ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS</title>
<description>
Architectural acoustics comprises four areas of study: room acoustics, sound insulation, mechanical systems noise and vibration control and reinforcement. This course concentrates on room acoustics and explains the basic acoustical principles beginning with practical definitions of industry-wise acoustical terms. This view of the essentials necessary to architectural design of acoustically sensitive spaces focuses on questions like what acoustical factors should be considered when designing a space and how to specify the correct acoustical ceiling system for your design needs which may vary from space to space. During this course students will learn how to create a space that takes a space that takes acoustics into consideration, what products to use, when and where to use them. Technical knowledge will be supported by the field studies (tours to the important halls in Houston will be arranged).

<title>DESIGNING THE SOCIAL</title>
<description>
Although one can point to the New England town hall in Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" (1835/40) or the bowling alley in connection with Robert D. Putnam's "Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community" (2000), architecture's social agency has been notoriously and productively difficult to pin down and architecture's relationship to the social sciences has been as tense as it has been constant. The course will focus its efforts on architecture's past and potential contribution to what has historically been called 'civic association' - the realm of social activity outside the market and purview of the state. Each class will focus on a particular architectural mode of social projection through the close reading of a single architectural work. In the major assignment for the course, students will be asked to conceive alternate architectural modes of social engagement and to speculate on their potential implications.

<title>HOW MANY MODIFIERS?</title>
<description>
The course explroes permutations of contemporary relationships between ecology (as both nature and systmes) and urbanism, and the networks of ideas that produce emerging subsets that include Landscape Urbanism, Landscape Infrastructure, Ecological Urbanism, and others. Foundational texts formulating multi-scaler approaches to organizaiton will provide a frame work through which analyze critical design projects that catalyze landscape, urbanism, infrastructure, and architecture. This framework will then provide a means to project alternatuive figurations of large scale organizational systems.

<title>THE ARCHITECTURE OF BOOKS</title>
<description>
Over the past decades, the conception of books has become an integral part of any architectural practice. This seminar aims to introduce students to the book as a means to think about the production of space, and as a critical vessel to discuss and disseminate architectural ideas. In the first part of the seminar students will engage in an in-depth analysis of seminal architectural publications, considering their historical background, conceptual background and introducing such topics as typography and layout- and in-class discussions of relevant literature. The second part will be dedicated to the actual "building" of a small architectural publication, which will reflect critical and editorial skills as well as the craft of bookmaking.

<title>SHAKESPEARE AND FILM</title>
<description>
This course will examine several Shakespeare plays and their theatrical productions. The instructor will teach each play as a text (and a script) first, and then study the films of these plays in an effort to understand the choices the film-makers have made in adapting Shakespeare's plays to the screen. In this course, then, we will be concerned with studying both Shakespeare's plays and what happens to those plays in the hands of a creative film-maker.

<title>PLAGUES AND POPULATIONS</title>
<description>
This course will examine the interaction of pathogens and human societies. It will cover the biological nature of pathogens and disease, the human immune system and therapeutic and societal interventions to prevent and cure disease. Specific diseases will be studied to determine the biology of the disease agent, its exploitation of the human host, its transmission and epidemiology and how the disease impacts the economic, political, social structure and values of the affected populations, and how the response to disease may limit its impact.

<title>PSYCHOLOGY OF HAPPINESS</title>
<description>
Truth, beauty and, yes, happiness, are issues that have engaged thoughtful people over the centuries. What is happiness (and what makes us happy)? Until recently we have relied on philosophers and religious thinkers for answers to that question, and many of them have provided useful recipes that seem to work for at least some people some of the time. The last century or so has seen many psychologists and self-help gurus who have also handed out (well, more often sold) recipes that generally seem to be less satisfactory than the wisdom of the ancients. Interestingly until recently psychologists have tended to ignore this seeming important topic, but in the past 10 or so years social and personality psychologists, neuroscientists and even economists have begun to pose empirically answerable questions about happiness and to find some data-based answers to what makes people happy. In this course we will read some of the traditional wisdom provided by religious and philosophical thinkers, but we will focus primarily on questions and issues that are subject to empirical resolution.

<title>THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS</title>
<description>
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls a little over a half a century ago in the Judean desert has been celebrated as the most significant manuscript discovery of the 20th century. Students will study the fascinating history of the discovery and publication of the Scrolls. They will read the most important Scrolls, learn about the beliefs and practices of the Jewish group that authored them and discuss what can be learned from the Scrolls about the nature of Early Judaism and the origins of Christianity.

<title>ASL AND DEAF CULTURE</title>
<description>
What is it like to "hear" a hand? American Sign Language speakers around the country and in the Houston community know the answer to this question, and now you can, too. In this course we will learn the basics of ASL - from grammar to conversation to medical and business vocabulary - as well as exploring Deaf culture and history, which are linked inextricably to this unique language. Students should leave the course with a deeper understanding of the Deaf community, as well as an appreciation for the fun and beauty of ASL.

<title>KICKIN' IT IN SMALL TOWN TEXAS</title>
<description>
Beyond the hedges of Rice and outside the Houston city limits, there lies a world of simple tastes and star-studded skies. The domain of rural Texas is a cultural wonderland that exceeds its renowned country dance halls, rodeos and barbeque. This class will give you the chance to explore the customs of this bucolic realm through thematic discussion of small-town characteristics, examination of inhabitant lifestyles, and integration of cultural practices. In the end, you will learn that, though everything is bigger in Texas, sometimes it’s the smallest towns that have the most to offer.

<title>TEXT AND IMAGE</title>
<description>
This interdisciplinary course will explore the relationship between language, text, and the visual arts. The class will examine poet/artist collaborations, text-focused artistic movements such as Dada, Surrealism, and the early text-based works of the 1960s, along with contemporary artists and writers who push the boundaries of their fields. Field trips, readings, group discussions, and class critique will all be integral to this course. Students will develop projects, either through individual investigation or group collaboration, examining how words and images might intersect. The semester will culminate in a publication of these projects. Space in studio classes is limited. Registration does not guarantee a place in class. The class roster is formulated on the first day of class by the instructor.

<title>STRING QUARTET RECITAL</title>
<description>
Each recital will include a format chosen by the quartet and natural to them in which they relate to the general public in a meaningful, non-technical way (i.e., pre-concert question and answer session, etc.). These are not lecture-recitals in the traditional, academic sense: their aim is to give the quartet guidance and experience in how to impart substantive information that help non-musicians deepen their concert-going experience. On occasion this course may require weekend rehearsals and performances. Consult the instructor regarding possible conflicts.

<title>"E" FOR EVOLUTION</title>
<description>
For over a century, the topic of evolution has been pegged as "controversial" and generally avoided in civil conversation. But, why is it such a hot-button topic? In this course we will be discusing Darwinian evolution from a variety of perspectives: scientific, historical, philosophical, societal, religious, and cultural.

This course is designed with two major objectives in mind. First, is to thoroughly understand, and be able to competently apply, those statistical methods typically used in the analysis of business data. Secondly, is to affect how you think about problems. If data can help you resolve a business problem, this course should enable you to: structure the problem in a way that facilitates its analysis; specify the data that needs to be analyzed; decide on the statistical technique(s) most appropriate for analyzing the data; apply the technique correctly; and, insightfully interpret the results in terms of their implications for the original problem.

<title>INTL ENERGY SIMULATION</title>
<description>
MGMT 600 is a two-day simulation, which will immerse students in the dynamics of reconciling competing interests to develop natural resources in a fictitious emerging country. Students will be assigned to one of up to 14 teams representing the government of "Thibaw" in SE Asia; dissidents; energy companies from China, UK, and US; environmental and human rights NGO's; a public policy institution; and journalists. The simulation addresses the interplay of social, economic and political drivers in complex investment and strategic decision-making by government and industry, while also taking into account the direct and indirect influences that can be brought to bear by diverse stakeholders.

<title>ENERGY CONSTRAINED WORLD</title>
<description>
“Managing in a Carbon-Constrained World” focuses on the business challenges and opportunities presented by the fast-changing dynamics of climate change and renewable/alternative sources of energy - at the international, federal, and state levels. Consideration will be given to successes and failures of “first movers.” We will consider how to reconcile conflicts between the goal of a lower carbon future and the priorities of energy security and restoring a strong, sustainable, economy. The course will close with corporate responses to the challenge. The course is intended to benefit students who intend to pursue careers as leaders in industry, finance, government, diplomacy, international agencies, non-government organizations (NGO’s), media, or in academia. The course will challenge you to understand diverse points of view. A background in economics, finance, management, engineering, or public policy will provide a strong foundation, but other disciplines may also apply.

<title>CORPORATE GOVERNANCE</title>
<description>
The aim of this course is to gain an in-depth understanding of corporate governance and how it influences a firm's strategy and performance. The course covers the theory and mechanisms of corporate governance and comparative systems of governance and how they relate to contemporary trends. We focus on problems in listed firms, how they can be mitigated by regulation, ownership, boards, incentives, and other mechanisms, and how alternative governance models handle their problems. The course will enable students to undertake a corporate governance review of an individual company including an assessment of how ownership, board structure, managerial incentives and system characteristics influence company strategy and performance. We use a combination of readings, conventional cases, and real-time cases and the variety of governance issues and solutions around the globe. The course is appropriate for those who desire to run their own companies, those who are interested in investment portfolio management, and those who aspire to be senior corporate managers.

<title>FINANCIAL MARKETS</title>
<description>
The content of this course is a microeconomic focus on the functioning and structure of financial markets and financial institutions. By the end of the course students will be able to describe how information asymmetry problems affect financial transactions and market outcomes, analyze different financial market structures, and understand how no-arbitrage concepts apply to valuation tasks. We will study how firms raise external capital to fund investment in real assets and how markets and financial intermediaries assist in this. We will learn many of the details that are assumed away in other core courses, and this class will help you see how corporate finance and investments fit together as a cohesive whole.

<title>MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS</title>
<description>
Marketing Communications is the Promotion “P” of the traditional 4 Ps of the Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) as taught in marketing courses. In Services Marketing courses, they sometimes add three additional Ps (People, Processes and Physical Evidence) to the Marketing Mix (becoming 7 Ps) due to the intangible characteristics of services that add to the marketing challenges. In this course, we will focus on the concept of Integrated Marketing Communications. We will consider the unique situations of various organizations and the implications for the Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) program. And we will discuss the IMC processes, media and tools and their roles in contributing to the success of the program. The tools available include Advertising, Direct Marketing, Interactive/Internet Marketing, Sales Promotion, PR/publicity, and Personal Selling. We will look at the various tools/media available and the strengths and weaknesses of each when applied to a given organization and its situation. Some organizations leverage all of these tools in their IMC programs while some will emphasize as few as one or two. That is because each organization’s situation (internally and environmentally) is unique.

<title>FIXED INCOME SIMULATION</title>
<description>
In this course, students will gain hands-on experience in the challenges and excitement of managing a simulated Fixed Income portfolio (U.S. Treasuries, corporate bonds and mortgages). FIP Sim 'student-managers' will actively learn and utilize the resources of the El Paso Finance Center to set up, research, and manage/trade their simulated portfolios. Each portfolio will consist of securities selected by the 'student manager' from an index in conformance with pre-established investment guidelines - analogous to the real investment management world. Monthly portfolio performance will be calculated and benchmarked against the index. Classroom time will be used for a combination of lectures, speakers, interactive Finance Center activities, and professor/student consultation sessions on investment strategy. This course work will leverage off of material learned in MGMT 651, and to receive credit, you must simultaneously take MGMT 651.

<title>INTL ENERGY DEVELOPMENT</title>
<description>
This course examines how energy companies construct portfolios of international assets. The first half of the course focuses on the lifecycle of international energy projects, from the point at which a company decides it wishes to acquire an international project to the point at which the company divests that interest. These initial classes will discuss the business development processes companies employ to identify, analyze and acquire overseas assets; the typical commercial structures and contracts used to acquire rights and obligations in different types of energy projects; how companies build and manage relationships with host governments, including cultural difference, negotiation and corruption; issues related to joint ventures and joint operations with other companies; threats to international project cash flow such as renegotiation, expropriation and force majeure; and how companies structure exits and divestments from international energy projects. The last half of the course examines in detail a few specific projects that Professor Gaille has been involved in – including oil and gas exploration in Africa and a 2 billion cubic feet per day natural gas pipeline project in the Middle East. The course concludes with students being divided into teams or “companies” and then engaging in a dynamic bid round and petroleum exploration exercise, whereby students compete with one another to acquire acreage and then create (or destroy) net present value.

<title>DIGITAL BUSINESS EXCELLENCE</title>
<description>
Organizational dysfunctions remain the norm despite decades of management attention. Year after year, management gurus take passionate positions that are mutually exclusive, contrast “IT doesn’t matter” with “IT savvy is critical.” Clever executives see opportunity amid this controversy. This course steps directly into the controversy. It is designed to equip future business leaders with knowledge needed to position their firms among the 30% that do succeed. This is a business class that will focus on the use of information technology to achieve business goals. While specific technologies are discussed, as are hot technology trends, the objective is always to clarify the underlying business principles that business and IT executives require for success.
